Watched 24 too; now that was one hell of a fight. Somehow this gives me vibes of DBZ vs Raditz.

There was also your standard sadistic choice where you are forced to kill the rest so you may live but it's actually rigged. But it's still nice to see everyone means in when they say they're a hero. Even Kaede gave a line.

And Tiger... it doesn't look good for him. But hey, he's still intact... cybernetic implants for RoboTiger maybe?

Also next episode will probably involve Barnaby kicking the shit out of Maverick. He had his parents, his caretaker, and now his best friend killed by the same guy. I can't say I feel sorry for Maverick... he deserves every bit.

Wing- Yeah, Tiger & Bunny really does capitalize on World Building. It many ways the attitudes of the news reporters and some of the hero's constant mention about points that made me agree with this one picture's commentary about the world of Tiger & Bunny; it's all about business. Llyod's attitude towards Kotetsu, Agnes's obsession with the ratings, and even Maverick's decisions all reflect this kind of mentality. Everything was pure business in the end. A fine heroic dystopia isn't it?

Yes and no. There's a whole spectrum of attitudes toward heroism. Maverick's flat out crazy, and Agnes or Lloyd have the positions they do because they care about the business side (it is, literally, their job). But among the heroes, you can go from Tiger's "we're heroes who happen to be salarymen" to Bunny's "we're salarymen who happen to be heroes".

Agreed. The system has room for sincere heroism as we see with how Kotetsu approaches it. I also get the sense that Sky High is in it more for the heroism than the "It's a living" aspect.

The biggest problem with the system really isn't at the hero level, actually. It's at the level of Maverick, Agnes, or Lloyd.

Crude as it is, there's a cold logic to Agnes being excited and thrilled when a Jake Martinez or Lunatic shows up and poses a real threat. They're obviously going to attract more attention than random thug No. 2156 would. It will help the ratings. And that's where the system gets very dicey...

The moral conflicts are worse for the people running Hero TV than it is for the heroes themselves. The heroes can just focus on stopping Jake, stopping Lunatic, or catching the random thug of the day. The guys running Hero TV must feel awfully tempted to create their own Jakes, and set them loose...

-Can Albert Maverick be stopped?
-IF they fail, will he ever strike again in the next season?

God, i've been haunted about what happened from what we just saw in T&B. Hope Kotetsu NOT really dead... & NOT gonna see Rotwang strikes again soon because he's now freezes in hell By Kaede (Blue Rose's power).

Not dead. Sunrise's main protagonists die in the final 5 minutes of their shows. Too early for him to die so it's not going to happen. Kotetsu's secondary mutation will activate.

Episode just finished, I will first post this.
A new T&B event was announced, 13th of November will be a seiyuu event.

Spoiler for for episode content:

Starts off depressive, then turns out to be very good like we're used to.
Kotetsu is alive, saves Kaede from Maverick. Rotwang dies, Maverick kills his own brain but dies by the hands of Lunatic.

In the end Tiger changes to the 1 minute man hero, his powers declined to 1 minute.
Dragon Kid does a HNNGG ending.

Partner ending with Princess carry included. Which is odd as seen that Kotetsu wanted to be a daddy to Kaede and ends up being something along the lines of a part time Hero with Barnaby. Yes Barnaby decides to retire as well.

Ouroboros scene at the end with a dollar bill hitting water and revealing the snaked circle. We saw this before as a mistake when Karina held a bill up (was edited in the BR version).
So yes they will return!

Reminder we still have the long list of releasing manga pieces in magazines. I am glad to hear a S2 was announced.
I'm sure they didn't expect it to happen that this series became so popular.

Episode just finished, I will first post this.
A new T&B project was announced, more news on it will be released the 13th of November. Most likely a news release, no trailer or anything new.

Don't forget the C-Part with...

Spoiler:

...the Ouroboros dollar getting reintroduced.

Loved the ending. Loved the series. I tip my hat to the crew for making such a fun series, where I was able to feel the heart that went into it throughout.

You were too quick, I was still editting =P

I was screaming through out the entire thing with everyone. Everyone rooting for a kiss also but meh..
But yes, its such a happy evening now.
Was so excited about it all I misread the seiyuu event as a new project ;_;
But still those things are a lot of fun

]This like Gundam 00's first season. We get an extended introduction to the world of Stern Bild, the universe of Tiger and Bunny. Lots of stuff was left to be resolved for another 25 episodes. Lunatic is Mr. Legend's son but he played a very minor role... like Ribbons in Gundam 00. He should be at the center in the war against "you know who..."

Spoiler for Ending and Second season:

In the second season we will see Karina graduate, make her move. We may see Kotetsu regain his powers and then some. Lunatic is sure to play a larger role in the story.

Were the androids remotely deactivated? What the hell is up with that? Who initiated the safety system?

The ending was cool with the kids dollar falling into the puddle. Oh noes, a secret society is behind this place. . . like we didn't know this already. Kaede has to join the second tier heroes.

Also, Saito may be trying to find a way to get Kotetsu's powers back, since he's a mad scientist and all. Kotetsu is bound to regain his power and possibly gain a secondary mutation in the second season. Hope it comes out soon.

First off, on the ending (and the set-up for the second season): I wonder if this end scene was planned from the very beginning (with the animators for episode 4 not realizing this plan when they worked on the TV version of the episode).

As for season two, I'm still for the idea of the season being Dragon Kid-focused, what with 2012 being the Year of the Dragon and Kotetsu and Barnaby retiring and only doing heroics part time.

Just going to say this was an awesome episode. I fully expected them to make a bigger deal out of Kotetsu waking up but it worked better with him being so flippant (no convenient second powers popping up, yet). Liked that the reason we didn't see the original heroes vs. Black Tiger fight was because they were saving it for the finale. And even better that the heroes still lost.

Seems like there was some groundwork being laid for a second season (has it been confirmed? I know they were still negotiating with sponsors) but it'd work just as well if they ended the series with this (well, minus the epilogue).

A great end for a great show. I'm sure many people will be happy about Paolin dress But, she's better with her Bruce Lee outfit. Some parts that I really like :

Spoiler for 25:

- The fight between the heroes and the robots
- Marverick using his power on himself
- The whole prologue and Karina reading a book about how to make a single father fall in love with you I'm rooting for you Karina ! Go go !
- The end with the princess carry
- Agnes intervention !
- Lunatic intervention !
- Kotetsu still being a hero with his one minute power
- The Ouroboros dollar

What I don't like (at least right now) :

Spoiler for 25:

- The safety mode because it's too easy for me

In the end, one of the best serie of this season and the last one. I can't choose bewteen T&B and Steins;Gate Two great series, really !

It's weird but I found this episode a bit of a let down. But before I get tagged as the first negative poster on the episode I want to say it wasn't that big of a let down. Yes, IMO it could have been better but it also could have been so much worse it isn't funny.

So to break it down in no particular order:

Kotetsu lives! That was actually not done half badly. He was right, no one checked his pulse

Agnes for the win: Not to hot on that one. That felt more like the writers realized "Agnes didn't see the flash" in that episode from reading fan boards and just went with it. However, Agnes is still a *bleep* because she didn't act earlier because she wasn't sure how Maverick would react. That comes off as cold as usual for her.

Lunatic kills Maverick: Well I called it! So did half a dozen other fans on this board alone . Now, I was hoping for something more dramatic than what went down and less sneaky but it was actually quite true to Lunatic's MO.

The Ouroboros Dollar - I really think that was serendipity. I think putting in on the bill earlier in the series was a flat out mistake and then they changed the dollar to much closer to a US one then this dollar is actually different yet from the BD version of it. Still, I think the writers figured out that putting it back on the bill would be a very cool turn of events but one they weren't planning on using for S1 but it would be a good idea for S2 so back it came. I like the writers for doing this for what it's worth.

Tiger returning: That was one of the big things I wasn't so hot on though I'm warming up to it. On one hand I think it's a very realistic to the character to do that. Kotetsu was never going to be happy being a couch potato even before Kaeda told him so. Coming back as a Secondary Hero league-r was kind of sad but the end of the show is very clearly building up to Tiger returning in a full Mecha suit to offset his power loss (the reason why Ben is joining the team). With Barnaby returning as well, it allows for that nicely since Tiger is now clearly going to be side kick, as least as far as the public is concerned.

Tiger and Bunny is very much set up after this ending for another season or two or movies/specials. I personally want to hear what Bunny was up to during the down time, as well as the other heroes. I'd like to meet the crew from the Secondary Hero group and learn more about them. Then there's Lunatic who we should see more of (lets hope he's decided to focus on Ouroboros). It would be nice to see changes in Stern Bild after Mavericks demise and I'd be game to find out what the rest of the Alternative universe world is like outside of the city and more about their universes history, which I feel is indicated to be quite different than ours.

Oh two things I forgot

Spoiler:

Satou powering down the androids (safety mode). I liked that part. It wasn't really that out of left field IMO because we knew Satou was working on doing that at the end of the last episode.

Reason: Forgot a couple of things

The final episode of the Tiger & Bunny television anime series ended early Sunday morning with an announcement of a "super event" that will be held on November 13 at the Kanagawa Kenmin Hall. The event is the first part of the "next project" for Tiger & Bunny. The final episode did not announce a new anime or say that the next project will include new anime.

Update: The "Tiger & Bunny Hero Awards" event will have two sessions in the afternoon and evening. The scheduled guests from the voice cast include:
